On a later pressing the subtitle (The Pay-off) was added, probably after it was issued in America as THE PAY-OFF on Epic 3539, as I stated in an earlier post. I've got both pressings in my collection.
Dear Jack,
This is getting sillier.
I did go to the source - my record collection, before writing that last piece, and found the 7" single as mentioned by Dick Hughes in his book.
It was as described.
However, just now, after receiving your 'dig' at me, I went back to my Ray Price 45s to double check.
Yet, I was right.
I then checked the rest of them and (guess what) I also have the 45 without the "THE PAY-OFF" subtitle.
It looks like Dick forgot about the original release.
Who's going to tell him?
You or me?

Oh dear, I need a beer.
Kind regards.
Bill.
